Houses are built to live in, not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred before uniformity, except where both may be had.
Sir Francis Bacon

"What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, .
Octavio Paz
Civilizations in decline are consistently characterised by a tendency towards standardization and uniformity.
Arnold Toynbee
The uniformity of earth's life, more astonishing than its diversity, is accountable by the high probability that we derived, originally, from some single cell, fertilized in a bolt of lightning as the earth cooled.
Lewis Thomas
When we have standardized rules, everybody will benefit from it. There really is no uniformity right now and one of the problems with poker is that it has exploded to the point where more and more of these tournaments are sprouting up. We need to get them all on the same page.
Jesse Jones
And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.
H. L. Mencken
God requireth not a uniformity of religion.
Roger Williams
Better uniformity is probably the biggest benefit.
Paul Mertens
At least gives you a better chance at uniformity and keeps our assessments from driving people away into the surrounding counties.
Larry Dunn
These women are sophisticated and educated about fashion. People have a misconception that this is a place of uniformity, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Damien Vernet
Mr. Crafts' report was nothing but an accounting exercise. It doesn't show anything about proportionality or uniformity of the property tax system in New Hampshire.
Anne Edwards
[Right now] you have different choices for different classes of people. No one's challenging that. The law ... just deals with uniformity for retiree benefits, not uniformity among [current employees].
Matt Giacobbe
[Their] uniformity of appearance is frequently a triumph of modern science, thanks to which they can be equipped with identical noses, breast, teeth, and hair.
Helen Lawrenson
What we're looking for is a sense of uniformity. It would be clearer and less confusing to be operating under similar standards.
George Ellis
Enforced uniformity confounds civil and religious liberty and denies the principles of Christianity and civility. No man shall be required to worship or maintain a worship against his will.
Roger Williams
Our town was rigid in many ways, in terms of the uniformity of things, the colors of skin, the makes of cars, the lushness of the lawns, but on top of that it was sort of a blank canvas so-and again, I guess this is true of any child-I was ready to quickly accept the sudden and total substitutions of all I knew to be true.
Dave Eggers
America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered.
Louis D. Brandeis
God requireth not a uniformity of religion to be enacted in any civil state; which enforced uniformity (sooner or later) is the greatest occasion of civil war, ravishing of conscience, persecution of Christ Jesus in his servants, and of the hypocrisy and destruction of millions of souls.
Roger Williams
With breast cancer and hormone replacement therapy, we have the opposite, ... We have lack of agreement, lack of uniformity, lack of consistency. That tells me that if hormone therapy has an effect on breast cancer, it has to be a small (one). If it were a major effect, a large effect, we would have agreement.
Leon Speroff
Since implementation is always a wild card as China struggles to build nationwide uniformity in the legal system, there will always be concerns about inconsistent or selective application of the law.
James Zimmerman
There's no question that this decision will embolden the school choice opponents to throw the uniformity argument against the wall and see if it sticks in other states. But Wisconsin has already resolved the issue the other way. I would feel comfortable going into any court and reading both decisions - I have no doubt the courts would pick the Wisconsin decision.
Clark Neily
We would like uniformity in the form of federal standards. This is a heavily regulated industry already. We're not unaccustomed to regulations within the chemical industry. In fact, many times regulations are helpful because they provide clarity on how we're supposed to comply. The worst thing you can have in the chemical industry is ambiguity in regulations.
Chris Spear
It's about identity, really. Do we want everybody to dress the same and look the same and listen to the same music? That's a disaster. Every place has it's 'best' product -- an artichoke or whatever. Why have uniformity instead of preserving local things?
